After the destruction of their homeworld, and a change in leadership, the Skrulls secretly replaced Earth's heroes in preparation for an invasion of Earth. Leaving one question to be asked, "Who do you trust?"

Secret Invasion #8 Lands Thursday 12/4

Secret Invasion #8It's kind of crazy to think that we've been talking about the Skrull invasion for almost a year. Sure the 'seeds' were planted before that but it wasn't until January that the Skrull Watch thread started. There's been some cool stuff. There's been a couple 'holy crap' moments. I hate to say it but I don't think there was as many of those as I thought there'd be. Then again, the last issue still needs to come out. I'm curious what Bendis has in store for us.

A lot could be riding on this. Will it be a happy ending? Will there be any shocks? Hopefully there won't be shocks just for the sake of being...shocking. I don't want any sensationalized deaths just to have something big in the last issue.

As much as I've enjoyed the arc and (most of) the tie-ins, it will be nice seeing things go back to normal. Or at least what counts as normal in the lives of the Marvel characters.

The acclaimed comic book event of the year, that has generated buzz from Entertainment Weekly to the Wall Street Journal, concludes this Thursday in the extra sized Secret Invasion #8 (of 8)!
